Insert Pun Involving Tea Here

As I've remarked elsewhere:

The tea party movement is an astroturf concoction of corporate power brokers, their media enablers and apparatchiki from their party of choice, and its useful idiots are incoherent Republican dead-enders whose problem is that they're way too heavily invested in their fantasy narrative about the Kenyan Islamobolshevik in the White House. A bunch of middle class white folks reciting PR front-group talking points isn't a rebellion against fucking anything.

Matt Taibbi, Steve Kornacki and Steven Thrasher validate my skepticism and provide a counter to recent bizarre commentary attempting to equate these sore losers with the Populist movement of a century ago.
